A Bill to impose penalties on credit and debit card providers for the facilitation of the downloading of child pornography from the internet; and for connected purposes
Summary
<p>This Bill would make any payment institution liable for penalties if it facilitated the payment of money for indecent images of children. The Bill does not limit its scope to the use of debit and credit cards, but card payments to internet sites responsible for delivering such images are its main target. </p><p>Credit and debit card issuers would have a legal duty to maintain full personal identity details of all their customers. A company found guilty of an offence under the proposed legislation would face an unlimited fine.</p>
